Special Thanks

Huge thanks go to all of the incredibly fantastic girls and guys who
have contributed, donated, recycled, shared or otherwise presented me
with gear, synthesizers, acoustic instruments, printed circuit boards,
electronic parts, rusty trash (that turn out to be fantastic sound
sources), schematics, top secret info and whatever else there ever was!
I will try to do some special thanks list here with all of you - the
fantastic people.

Friends

Here
are some of my friends, collaborators or projects I do participate (or
have participated) in. Most of these are definitely worth
checking.

www.ericasynths.lv
- fantastic analog synthesizer modules and other great stuff. These
things sound and work absolutely brilliant. If you are serious about
analog vintage synthesis, you do have plenty of those in your
analog wall. And a lot more of great stuff is coming soon!

www.whitecat.lv
- cats are known for their pedantic approach to keeping clean and
killing. Yet this one has noting to do with it. Nice commercial printed
material and website solutions.

www.ineseverina.com - world might
have been a better place if there were more such a creative people
among it's female population.

www.my-nemesis.com
- Nemesis Technology is a developer of very nice tiny
audio multi-effects solutions, and is founded by a man who's
expertise was inspiration-wise highly influential in my technical life.
If you have been in a studio with racks of serious 90-ties gear, you
have definitely heard sound of his effects algorithms (No I will not
reveal the brand here:).

www.karikatura.lv - a genius gag
cartoon artist that has quite a unique character style, and is widely
recognized here in Latvia.

www.virtualdub.org
- If you are serious about video filming or just
creating yet
another high quality rip for the torrenters, this program is definitely
an essential part of the toolchain. Already a user? Then become a part
of virtualdub community by joining us in developer forum, and help
improve it! Viva la Open Source.

www.freepascal.org
- Concepts of ancient Algol are still alive (unlike Elvis),
yet among a rather narrow programmer community. Still it the
best
pascal you can ever find, it's still growing and improving and
available for all platforms ever imaginable, and it's Open
Source
and free as well. If you are a leet fpc coder, then be among FPC
developers as well.

www.nekapersoniga.lv
- Journalists research and dig deep in the pile of... well...
a
mess that the Latvia currently has drown in. Mainly political. (in
Latvian)
(Main website seems permanently down; here's their page under TV3: www.tv3.lv/nekapersoniga)

www.multimediaware.com
- While it's too bad that dos is becoming extinct, it
doesn't mean you need to dump your old dos computer (especially if it's
a powerful one with sb16, svga and 32bit cpu >200MHz) -
just
copy the tiny quickview program into it and make it nice a video player.

www.ruskeys.net
- a unique museum of all soviet synthesizers there have ever been.
Never thought there were so many, as any of those were not normally
available to buy. Generally all those are amazing reverse engineered
copies of popular Japanese synthesizers packed in weird cases
with bizarre names.

members.home.nl/c.kersten/
- excellent resource on waveblaster-compatible boards by Chiel Kersten.
Chiel is a good guy from Netherlands that you can trust. Thanks for the
Sound Canvas module once again!
